I haven't seen any posts about this here yet, the Oasis Driver for Windows Mixed Reality headsets added Linux support two weeks ago.

As I also got waitlisted for the Steam Frame, I have directed my enthusiasm there instead and now I have my HP Reverb G2 working again on Fedora 44. I still have to polish some small issues, but overall it works very well, even better than it did on Windows 10 before.

As a frustrated Samsung Odyssey+ user this is incredible news. I've only dusted it off on occasion to try and compile everything in EnVision again, fiddle a bunch, get nauseated, and hope it improves. (I was never able to get games to launch in the headset...)

Although, being on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed...

I had no success with Wayland, therefore I do not recommend using Oasis with Wayland.

Nooooo!! 😭 Maybe it can run in x11 mode with that...X11 / Wayland bridge system...

I was jazzed for steam frame too but I'm a working class prole in 2026 A.D and it apparently doesn't even come with its own headphones? I can't responsibly justify this even if I got picked in the raffle. Lol

If this works though, I'd finally get to erase my ancient Win10 partition for good and switch all my NTFS to BTRFS. GLORIOUS!!!

    Check the Oasis Driver Steam discussions, I got everything running on Fedora 44 KDE on Wayland.

    Also FYI the Steam Frame does have speakers aimed at your ears, they're just not "overear headphones" like on other VR headsets.

    Thanks so much for the info! I'm so happy to be incorrect on both counts hahaha.

    I'm gonna look deeper into it then when I can finally get the chance. This is so very cool!! :D

    Uuuusually in my experience, if something works well enough on Fedora, OpenSUSE should be fine. :D
